    So it's ok for a RWO poster to bag a Swans player, but not ok for a RWO poster to bag another RWO poster?

    Pot. Kettle. Black.

    I'm not saying either is correct ... I'd just rather applaud mediocrity than applaud hypocrisy

        There were some videos of him on the Swans ' website a while ago. At least one related to his cooking exploits. Perhaps he was the best of his housemates or something. Or maybe they had a master chef type challenge that he won.

        I can't remember now whether other Swans were referring to him as 'Chef' or only me.

              Just a few of us capable of remembering what happened before last weekend are pointing out he was among our best when we were wounded and limping to the line in 2015, hence the thread title is ridiculous, yet not surprising...
              He played a fantastic game against Freo last year, no question...But I've seen nothing even close to that quality, before or since...

              It's not a nice thought.... But there have been countless players who have shined the once, only to end up on the scrap heap...He looks like another to me.

                We can do a straight swap - Towers for White.

                Jesse would be a perfect replacement for Tom Derickx and makes an excellent travelling emergency. He can play many positions, albeit poorly, so doesn't threaten the regulars. And he seems to be the only player who understands Buckley's game plan. We should act quickly, before Collingwood realize that Jesse is their best forward.

                  Mug, I think 091833 might've been backing you there, suggesting that "penga" go easy on the PC reference to your comment ... unless I read the reply wrong

                    I feel this story is relevant to Towers


                    Dockers lock in Lee until end of 2018 - AFL.com.au

                    FREMANTLE has re-signed one of its most dependable defenders, with former mature-age rookie Lee Spurr re-signing until the end of 2018.

                    Spurr, 28, was due to come out of contract at the end of this season but recently signed a new two-year deal with the Dockers.

                    The Queenslander had to wait until he was 24 to make his AFL debut, playing in three SANFL premierships with Central District before Freo took him in the rookie draft at the end of 2011.

                      I have belief that Towers will be a valued member of the team. He just have to have self belief and unleash his assets speed, agility and leap. Conversely he needs to improve his tackling and reading of the play and hopefully by having Kirk there these facets will be improved in his game. I still see him as a replacement for the position that Goodsey played and if he plays half as well as Goodsey did then it will be a win for the club.

                          I don't believe so.

                            Towers found a bit of form late last year and is one of those blokes you want to see do well ... but never comfortable that he had enough of anything, or perhaps excellence in a couple of areas, to warrant a place in a good team.

                              They give glimpses of what could be, but never deliver consistently.

                              J White is another, though he did at least string a number of good games together late in his Swans tenure....

                              Turned out to be excellent burley which attracted that school of puffer fish.... otherwise known as Collingwood.

                                Yes I love Jessie White!!

                                Just before his five year contract ended, played a few good games, and got recruited by Collingwood for big bucks and pick 44, and was it a four year contract??

                                Now they are stuck with him playing in the VFL, and their salary cap is busted! Perfect Swans player.

                                But Towers has being on the list a long time, and yes shows something sometimes.

                                This year is make of break, as Dawson and a few others are being lined up to take him spot in the team.
